Flash MX 2004: Random images/Gallery with links

[Winchester]

Where can I find a tutorial on building something in flash like on the main page of TNT? I want some images that change, but I want to be able to click on them and go to the respective page. It can be random or static, I dont care too much about the video aspect (click on the image and it plays a video) I just want it to go to a certain page.

Any clues?

Have you checked flashkit.com ?

Also there are random quote / random image scripts for Perl, PHP, ASP if you hunt around for them so you could skip using flash.

Im looking for that "fade" effect as well.

fade effect is just an alpha going down to 0....so onclick set a
on(enterFrame) {
this._alpha-=5;
if(this._alpha <=0)
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}

Drakkon,
I dont want it on a click. Look at TNT. I want it as it changes from one "picture" to the next. I have found a solution for the fade stuff, but I need the info on how to add the link and for it to change either randomly or statically.

It would be nice to tie this into XML as well, so I dont have to actually update through flash all the time.
